Jakarta - The National Search and Rescue Agency (Basarnas) has not planned to add facilities or equipment in the midst of prolonged floods and droughts coupled with El Nino.
Head of Basarnas, Major General TNI Mohammad Syafii, said that Basarnas has always coordinated and deployed personnel across ministries and agencies, including the TNI-Polri.
According to Syafii, Basarnas cannot handle disasters alone. This was conveyed by Mohammad Syafii at the Presidential Palace Complex, Jakarta, Tuesday, July 28. According to Syafii, the cooperation that has been built allows equipment and personnel from other institutions to be deployed when disasters occur.
Regarding the threat of prolonged drought, Basarnas is still waiting for official information from the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency. Syafii emphasized that Basarnas' task focuses on handling human emergencies.
In the disaster management cycle, Basarnas operations are under the coordination of the Head of the National Disaster Management Agency.
